Is it strange that even as a groomsman my invitation is addresssed only to me and doesn't allow me to bring a guest?
I would think that being a groomsman is proof enough that I'm a good enough friend to be allowed a guest. Or maybe the fact that I'm spending $300 towards the bachelor party, $200 for a tux rental, and $XXX on a wedding gift means that I should be able to bring someone.
Is it not standard practice to allow each member of the wedding party to bring a guest or am I missing something here? Like the fact that I would be eating at the wedding party table and my guest would be by herself at another table?

No, it is not standard practice for all bridal party members to be invited to bring a guest - only those in a committed relationship. This has nothing to do with whether you're a good friend or how much money you are spending on a tux. I'm sure it has more to do with the amount of seating available. Perhaps the couple has a huge family, a very small venue or limted buget. Whatever the issue, they are not obligated to invite you to bring along a guest, sorry.
PS - Whenever you're invited to be involved in a wedding party, be prepared to pay for the items mentioned. If you might have financial concerns then it's best to decline the invitation rather than have financial hardship or hard feelings.
